Question Trustworthy MB Mechanic in Mahwah,NJ?

Good morning.

I am considering purchasing a 1987 W126 for sale in NJ.

I live in Alabama, and have had recent surgery, so am unable to check it out myself.

Can anyone recommend a local, capable, reasonable Mahwah mechanic for a PPI?

Thanks!

(Mods - please move if this is not the correct forum)

I can’t speak of any reputation, but someone I personally trust gave me this phrase: “Dannek of Eurotech Motorsports Mahwah NJ”

Why would someone from " Down South " want to buy a car from the land of rusty cars? Usually stuff goes South to North.

The car spent it's life in NC. It was sold at auction in PA and is on a showroom floor. Exquisite appearance.

Well, gee. Why don't you open a shop, charge less , offer better service , allow customers to bring their own parts. Should be an easy money maker since you are the only honest one no?

You are one of the reasons good mechanics leave the field. It's unfortunate that the " the world is out to get me " mentality that infects the diesel list has spilled over to the gas side.

Once you get it home, let Alan at Empire in Pelham take a look at it.

I usually use Danny at Southern Star here in Anniston or Jono at Blue Ridge in Atlanta, but thanks for the info...
